Alfresco Enterprise on Azure Shah Rahman Founder and CEO, CloudlyIO

Why Cloud for ECM? Most audience knows “cloud”: Scalability Elasticity On-demand Pay-per-use Top concerns I hear: Migration Security Privacy

Introducing Cloudly.IO Cloudly makes moving data in and out of clouds or data centers easy We address a problem that’s usually manual, labor intensive and time consuming “data mobility” instead of “data migration”

Alfresco and Cloudly Partnership Alfresco on AWS and Azure Azure artifacts Architecture, implementation and automation Optimization of AWS implementation Enable ECM data mobility Between Alfresco on-premise and cloud Between Alfresco on different clouds Greenfield or migration of Alfresco to cloud

Alfresco on AWS Global infrastructure Computing Storage Databases Reference architecture Elastic Load Balancer NAT instance EC2 with auto-scaling Amazon S3 Amazon RDS CloudFormation template

Introducing Azure Platform

Azure Services for Alfresco Traffic manager Load balancer between endpoints Automatic failover Virtual machines Instance scaling Throttling Endpoint connected Blob storage Durable object storage for Alfresco items

Alfresco Enterprise on Azure Global infrastructure Computing Storage Databases Reference architecture Traffic manager Load balancer VMs with auto-scaling MS SQL/SQL server Blob storage Automation template

Reference Architecture Region/Affinity group Virtual network Cloud service Availability set

Network Settings Configuration-driven virtual network DNS IP address space and subnets VPN gateway address

Security Settings Endpoint configuration provides perimeter security ACLs help control incoming traffic Firewall configuration: ports, protocols SSL for HTTPS

Database Settings SQL Server on a VM Natively supported by Alfresco Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup scripts are leveraged Azure SQL support on the roadmap

Managing Alfresco on Azure Azure provides: Infrastructure management Platform management Customer requires: Application lifecycle management Performance management Operational monitoring

Scaling on Azure ① Geographic regions ② Traffic manager works across availability sets ③ Instance scaling for Alfresco servers ④ Master/multi-slave SQL servers ⑤ Highly durable blob storage

Demo of Alfresco on Azure

Alfresco on Azure Advantages ① Familiar Windows environment ② Microsoft stack footprint in Enterprise ③ PaaS features make it relatively easier to configure and manage Alfresco ④ Blobs are well-suited for binary contents ⑤ Azure SQL is massively scalable for ECM deployments (when available)
